Operation

WARNING

Sharp Blade Hazard.

Blades are sharp and can cause cuts and amputation.

To avoid injury from sharp blades, handle with caution. Only trained personal should operate equipment or preform maintenance.

Prior to first use, it is important to clean the equipment. Wash new blades with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly to remove the thin protective oil film.

1.Place slicer on a table or counter. Position the InstaSlice Table Stop over a table edge to hold the equipment in place

2.Before each use, always check for proper blade tightness and equipment cleanliness. Check for broken, nicked or dull blades and if found, replace blade assembly.

3.This equipment should be used to slice soft vegetables such as tomatoes, mushrooms, strawberries, etc. Hard foods such as onions, potatoes, lemons, etc. will cause blades to break. Use a Tomato King Scooper to remove the stem scar of the tomato. For best results, the tomatoes should be clean and wet before slicing them in the equipment.

4.Spray the plastic platform and blades with water to reduce friction and repeat as needed during use.

5.Place the tomato top down on the platform of the slicer against the pusher head. Place one hand on the pusher head handle and one hand on the knob on top of the slicer. With a quick push of the pusher head, push the tomato through the blades catching the slices into a pan placed at the end of the slicer.

6.Repeat this process until you have prepared enough food for your daily needs.

7.Rinse blades immediately. Failure to do so will shorten the life of the blades.
